Southampton will be making no new signings this window. Mopo and the team are already on the way to London in advance of tomorrows game.

Let's hope that Gallagher and Targett can be as good as new signings.

Just because the team have left for london dosent mean we won't make a signing hopfully we do!

To confirm, MoPo has told the players and staff on the coach that there are NO players coming in. Source - straight from the man himself on the bus.

I know people will shout me down but I'm not impressed if this is the case.
We NEED someone who is going to get goals. Ricky hasn't had a great time, JR is missing more than he gets and we appear to have nothing else apart from youngsters. Whilst I applaud our youth set up, to succeed in this division we need a proven goal machine, some back up defence owing to the injuries and suspensions and we have nothing. I don't think we are going down before people say that and in Pocahontas I have faith. But I really hoped we would get something in.

But we don't NEED to buy anyone this window. why not give the youth a chance in the league and cup games and see how they get on, then re-evaluate in the summer and see exactly what we need! we're not desperate for players, so why buy now? maybe a loan striker would have been good, but what a confidence boost for gallacher! Poch is basically saying, we don't need anyone because I have sufficient talent in the youth team. so let's see how we get on, support the team, stop moaning and whining about not signing anyone and deal with it! some "fans" on here really wind me up

You never win anything with kids. Someone famous once said that, but for the life of me I can't remember who.

Why don't we put a little faith in what we have. We did just hold one if europes best to a 2-2 draw. COYR

So it apparently means we aren't true fans unless we think the same way as you?
I think our youth set up is fantastic. But you cannot rely on it. How can you say we don't need anyone until the summer? We are seriously lacking goals and our defence is currently paper think with the injuries we have had.

Some people who put others down when they don't agree with them really winds me up.

All i'm saying is, for this season the youth will suffice. Hooiveld is terrible, granted, but Yoshida IS capable of playing in this league, Lovren is injured, not dead, so he'll be back before then end of the season. Rodriguez needs to work on his finishing, ok, but at least he's getting in to the right positions, we're still making a lot of chances. it will come good. I'm saying we can wait till the summer when the right players are availble at the right prices. we don't need to panic buy. we're not getting relegated, we can't get in to Europe unless we win the FA cup. Why waste money on someone for the sake of it. Imagine being Sam Gallagher and your manager telling you that he's not getting a replacement in for a stroppy, £15 million pound Argie/Italian record signing because he thinks you're good enough to back up, and even challenge Rickie and J-Rod. What a confidence boost! Stoke have bought 3-4 strikers because they're desperate, West ham have loaned 3-4 players because they're desperate. we don't need it.

The defence is not 'paper thin' 2 great right backs, possibly the best English left back in the league and another young one who's stated to be better, Clyne can play LB too. 4 good CB's, yes, for where we are Yoshida and Hooiveld are good enough to be back up, juat because you have unrealistic expectations doesn't mean they're bad players. We also have 2 young CB's who would be ready with a bit more experience. We struggle to put chances away but let's give Gallagher a go, should have had a hat trick vs arsenal but once he settles into the team he'll start putting them away. This 'lack of goals' has put us 9th in the table, 7 points clear of 10th and with Wanyama coming back and Lovren ahead of schedule we should stop conceding the sloppy goals. So no, we don't 'need' to sign anyone

It makes me laugh the people have blind faith in the team even when it's apparent we are in need of help in some areas? And woh betide anyone who says different! Just Following there teams like blind sheep! Barrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

10.) 31 Jan 2014
Would many of the sceptics have taken where we are the moment, at the start of this season?. I think not.
We have got to where we are in the main by using the youth coming through mixed with what we had already + Lovren and Wanyama. (Forget about the Italian/Argentinian t****r)

We are ninth in the league and unlikely over the course of the next few games to go up or down so why not leave alone and give some of the youngsters a chance. let's blood a few more and give them some more experience. With less pressure on the squad in not needing to avoid relegation or to qualify for Europe, let's the Saints lads show what they can do without worrying about having to buy overpriced overrated foreign 'stars'.
Keep the faith boys and girls. Show everyone this 'Southampton Way' can work. COYS

Sheep? Says someone who's following the moany crowd. We just realise that we aren't going to sign all these fantastic players you seem to think we are. We we're in league one 3 seasons ago, nearly went out of business 5 years ago, now we're comfortably in the top half of the prem. Quality squads take time to build, we're not going to sign a whole new team in every transfer window like you seem to want us to, it would be foolish to sign a CB now anyway and would buying a striker be any better than someone who's been playing 'our' football for the last year? be patient, support the team and we'll get somewhere and probably have the backbone of the England team playing for us in a few years. Alternatively, if you don't like how the team is being built, save your money and stay at home on a Saturday.

You only "need" additions, if you can't achieve the team goals with what you have. Our goal this season must be top half, good cup run and consolidation. Reassess in the summer for next season's goals. We have injuries which we would only be panic buying if we felt we had to replace and would only do so if we were chasing something. We aren't. Come on boys. slow and steady. We are not Pompey. This is not the time to spend millions bringing in players we don't need.

Mungochutney Saint.

All interesting and valid opinions but to those that are saying calm down are you also not saying 'This season is over, there is nothing to play for so wait until next season'. Which as a Saints fan is bit crap isn't it? Don't bother to go to games or watch on the telly or look out for results because the results don't matter 'cause were not going to do anything.

That is not a good message in my book.

You never win anything with youngsters is also completely true - it was said about an exceptional bunch of youngsters at one the biggest and richest clubs in the world in 1992. Have they [or anyone else] done that since? Nope.

Why is everyone on about buying a striker the way hooveild puts the ball in the net i'd convert him into a striker
